how much is one of the chips, and can we install them or do they require one of their own fitters to do it?

Well.
Porsche 911 and BMW M3 at 270 km/h very quiet.
No exciting.

But all day this cars to hard. Because 911 is a very (good)great car.
And you can see the cars so many.
They are very normal not so individual.
Thats a reason for me to drive an SVX.
Here in germany are totally ~ 600 SVX.
A few.

ps. Porsche and M3 have a (murder) better acceleration. Better than my SVX. But for me is not the high speed or acceleration the most important.
The SVX is a complete car. Quit, fast, luxorious and very rare. That`s my reason for drive SVX 1997.

Your SVX looks great. It is very nice.

The pictures you have are great also so.

Can you please answer a question for me?

I want to know very much.

How does the SVX compare to the Porsche and BMW at 270 Km/hr?

This would be your opinion of course.

Is that a GREEN power light under the gear indicator lights?

I thought that the POWER light went out in '95.

Of course, non-USDM models have a few extra toys!

this guy is pretty cool and his car is sweet too. I think he fully understands why SVXes are so cool. It's not because they are fast or loved by all but because they are unique and a lot better than most people give credit to. I am still trying to find another car that will ride on the highway and handle as good as the SVX without sacrificing the ride quality.

Chike, there could be a lot in what you say.

To get the HP to achieve this speed, I reckon coolness may have had a lot to do with it.

I mean in the sense that Holger was probably at sea level, with cool and dense autumn or winter air feeding the car.

Cool indeed!

Joe

Well, when you take into account the only other person who has chased the needle round the clock is Sonny!

And he is from Sweden, another area wher the air could be described as cool and dense at times.

A pattern emerges.

The pattern could be tied to the lack of speed limiter, that model doesn't seem to have.
